Sky's the Limit

Today marks the one-month
anniversary of sandcastle, an achievement certainly worthy of celebration! I
started this blog for many reasons: to push myself to learn new skills, to
remember what it feels like to think creatively from time to time, to advance
my almost nonexistent technological skills, to show far-flung family and
friends what I’m up to, and perhaps most importantly, to create a journal of
sorts that I could refer back to and remember things that made me happy, things
that made me think, and things that defined a certain period of my life.

In the very short time that I’ve been at this little project,
I’ve realized how diverse my interests are (and how many people share them),
how many things I still don’t know (and, after being the only one under the age
of 60 at a recent Mac class at an Apple store, how many things I already know),
how pleased (and at times, incredibly anxious) I can become by putting my
thoughts on the web, and sadly, how little free time I have to myself after a
full work week (and how important balance is for maintaining my sanity). More
than ever, I’m excited to build this sandy little site and look to the horizon to see where it
takes me. Thanks for stopping by to monitor my progress!
